H&M Gift Lounge at Z100′s Jingle Ball

December 11– Prior to the start of Z100′s Jingle Ball concert, several artists took a trip through the H&M Gift Lounge. Several performing artists, as well as other celebrities, were able to choose from an assortment of gifts from brands such as Wonka, Verizon, Duracell, and several others.

Among the talent that turned out were American Idol finalist Adam Lambert, American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, and Justin Bieber, who all later performed at the concert. The bands Boys Like Girls and The Fray, pop singer Ke$ha, and Jay Sean made sure to attend the gift lounge.  Also present were actresses Anika Noni Rose (Disney’s The Princess and The Frog), Katrina Bowden (30 Rock), actor Mark Indelicato (Ugly Betty), comedian Judah Friedlander (30 Rock), and many others.

Some of the best gifts of the night that attendees were able to choose from included a new Verzion Wireless Droid phone, a $500 gift card and VIP Shopping Pass to H&M, a WONKA Purple Card that entitled the holder to a year’s worth of candy, and a year’s supply of their favorite flavor of 5 Gum.

One very special stand came from Duracell, who displayed the Duracell Power Rover. This bicycle-like device allowed riders to continuously pedal the machine, which in turn, generated energy. This energy will be harnessed to power the 2010 numerals in the Times Square New Years Celebration. All those who attended the lounge were more than happy to donate their time to help power such an iconic image.

All those who attended the Gift Lounge seemed to enjoy the selection quite a bit. When selecting his 5 Gum flavor, Owl City’s Adam Young told an attendant “I’ve never kissed a girl, but now I’m ready!” Judah Friedlander spent nearly 30 minutes setting up his new Verizon Wireless Droid at the Verizon stand, and pop singer Ke$ha, while receiving her gift card to H&M, was overheard telling her publicist “please make sure we don’t lose this one, I’m going to use it after the show.”

It was a very productive day for all those who attended the H&M Gift Lounge as well as those who helped run it. The talent were happy with their new gifts, and the representatives of the individual companies were more than happy to spread the word about their product.
